Christmas Haul 2009: Lips

I hope everyone’s holiday was splendid. I got many new products over the holiday and my 24th birthday. I thought instead of doing a haul video, since I am not the biggest fan, I would do a review. The theme? Lips! I did take pictures, but since I woke up after 230pm the sun went down by the time I was functioning. Which made the colors very off from its originality.

The products:

Sephora ---> Precious Pink Bronzed BeautySephora’s glosses are a touch a shimmer in them and pack just a tad of color in them. They are flavorless and not a sticky gloss. Precious is great for daytime and Bronzed Beauty is a great accent for an evening look.

NYX has decent lipstick for only $4. Most also have moistureizers in them for that glide on feeling. When you wear them, if your lips are cracked and have some wear on them, it shows. My favorite ofthem is Black Cherry--a verydeep red---and Thaila---just abasic nude that goes with everything.

Prestige I found one day at Ultawhile roaming around (I knowSHOCKER). It was on clearanceso its quite possible that it is in the process of being discontinues. I’m a fan of the 2 I have. They are not glossy at all, just plain matte. And it has taken me years to find a red that suits me the way I want it to. The colors are okay in the bright category and good for an everyday use.

NYC is a very cheap brand ofcosmetic’s but it is hard to findsuch an intense pink and the color is gorgeous. Has almost an80’s vibe to it. Wear with lip liner will help it last all day.
